Featherweight prospect Zabit Magomedsharipov submitted Brandon Davis with a crafty kneebar on the UFC 228 PPV main card.

The UFC 228 PPV main card just witnessed Zabit Magomedsharipov pull off the second kneebar from the back on Saturday night when he submitted Brandon Davis in the second round. In his post-fight interview, Magomedsharipov called out top ranked featherweight Chad Mendes. Who knows who will be next for the 16-1 phenom?

The featherweights met in the center of the Octagon, measuring one another. Davis started to press forward, which prompted Magomedsharipov to throw with a bit more heat and initiate a grappling exchange. Magomedsharipov pushed off from the clinch in the final ten seconds to throw a spinning kick, but he missed the mark.
